Actress Lysette Anthony says Harvey Weinstein raped her at her home

British actress Lysette Anthony has told police that Harvey Weinstein raped her, the Sunday Times reported, becoming the fifth woman to level such accusations against the disgraced Hollywood mogul.

The 54-year-old actress, who currently appears in British soap Hollyoaks, told Metropolitan Police last week that she

had originally met Weinstein in New York, and agreed to meet him later at his rented house in London, according to the paper.

“The next thing I knew he was half undressed and he grabbed me. It was the last thing I expected and I fled,” she told the Times.

Ms Anthony, who appeared in Woody Allen’s 1992 film Husbands and Wives, said Weinstein then began stalking her, turning up unannounced at her house. “He pushed me inside and rammed me against the coat rack,” she said of the attack in the 1980s. “He was trying to kiss me and shove inside me. Finally I just gave up.” Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
